Caer Sidi,
The Fortress of the Fairies is mentioned in the
Book of Taliesin (Lewis Spence).
That
Caer Sidi
(Camelot) was the Seat of rituals and
initiations for Healing and Divination of an
extraordinary vitality and importance to the
Celtic psyche is no new thesis.
But that it can
be re-awakened today, simply through a
comparative experiential study of Grail Lore
and Himalayan Tantric Shamanism is a testimony
we want here to share , as a research, with
you.
The roots of
myths and rituals go down to the subsoil of
grave-cult and fear of death. E. Durkheim and
K. Jung often argued that the collective
excitation (surexcitation) of clans, tribal and
Shamans rituals were experienced by
participating members as trans-personal
(impersonal), overwhelming power (Mana) ,
though to emanate from the clan archetypes (or
collective uncousciousness) represented
(embodied) in the Totem. The Totem would
then induce with Mana all associated symbols,
uniting the tribe in a single system of beliefs,
practices and representations.
The word
Sidhe
(also
spelled Sidi, Sidh, Sid, Sith ...)
may be regarded as the standard term for "fairy"
in the Gaelic tongue of Scotland , Wales and
Ireland. While some reliable authorities further
stress that Sithide or Sithde is
the genitive of Sithd, a female fairy,
Gaelic records Sidhe as also implying
"hill" or "mound". Mounds and hills often are
both graves and abodes of the elves.
Mythology is
social psychology, as much as it is archetypes,
history, cosmology or biography.
Myth is a picture
language, which has to be studied and embodied
to be read.
And Mythology is
also alive ...

Whom Does the Grail Serve ?
Bard Taliesin
said :
With regard to the Grail, Taliesin
(Keltic Bard) , in poem xxx, mentions that :
"" the Cauldron of the Head
of Hades (The Grail) had a rim set with pearls adorning it,
the fire beneath it came from the breath of nine maidens, it
would not boil for a coward. The poem mentions the Cauldon
being at CAER SIDI , the Grail Chapel of King Peleur in
Camelot . In the Arthurian Quest, the Cauldron is found by
Arthur and his knights on their descent to Annwn, the Astral
Plane. The prize of the Grail is that it heals the sick and
wounded, feed those at the Round Table with whatever they
wish, and protects them from plague and old age. Above all,
it is the Cauldron of Prophecy, which renews the soul. When
Arthur is slain at the battle of Camelon by Modred, he is
carried of to the Isles of Avallach or Avallon, where he
remains , neither alive nor dead, until fate will require
again his Sword (Excalibur). Caer Sidi (Zodiac), in the land
of Fairies, is the door to Annwn... ""
